We’ll be playing for the Wine on the Water benefit for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation on Volunteer Landing in Downtown Knoxville. The benefit runs from 6:30 – 9:30 pm and is for a great cause. There will be a ton of great wine, food and, of course, rock – more information here at the Wine on the Water website.

Later that night, we’ll be playing the Preservation Pub downtown in Market Square. So come out early and stay out late!

The video from our Live at Five adventure with Darin Erin’ is now available at WBIR – here it is if you’re like me and too lazy to click on another link. Thanks again to Erin for sangin’ with us.

Video below the fold.

Hey folks – we’ve got two big events this week for you.

First, the Vibraslaps become television celebrities this week on WBIR’s Live at Five (at Four). We had WBIR’s Darin’ Erin take the stage with us at Wild Wing Cafe back in July and the segment will finally make the show this Wednesday, September 2 on WBIR-TV in Knoxville. Tune in to WBIR at 4 pm (or set your DVR) this Wednesday. Erin has posted a sneak preview here.

Next, we will be playing Preservation Pub on Friday night, September 4. It’s the first time we’ve been back to the Pub since the spring, and we’ll be celebrating drummer Eric’s birthday, so come on down and rock with us on this special occasion.

Darin’ Erin Donovan from WBIR-TV’s Live at Five was dared to sing a song with us (see some of her video handiwork here and here), and for some reason has accepted the challenge.

So come out Thursday night for a heapin’ helpin’ of the usual Vibraslaps rock fare and make some noise for Erin (not that we won’t be making enough noise for her on our own…) as she becomes a Vibraslap for a day. See you there!

We’ve just added an additional show to the calendar – we will be returning to the Valarium on Friday, June 19, opening for the Breakfast Club. They always draw a huge crowd, so come out early and rock with us.

Also, I’ve finally gotten some more pictures up in the photo gallery section. Check it out here.

Hope to see you all at the Valarium and elsewhere this summer.

This coming Thursday, April 30, we will be at Wild Wing Cafe in Farragut, one of our favorite places to play. Great sound system, delicious beer, fun staff – always a good time. We will fire up around 9:30 – and it’s free.

The following Thursday, May 7, we’ll be appearing at Preservation Pub on Market Square after Sundown in the City. If you haven’t made it out to Sundown yet, it’s one of Knoxville’s best events, hands down. Sundown that night will feature local artists, The Royal Bangs, The Tenderhooks and Same as it Ever Was. So come out for Sundown and stay out with us at the Pub. You’ll get your entertainment dollar’s worth many times over.

Happy spring!

This Friday Feb 6 is “First Friday” downtown and we’ll be back at the Preservation Pub into the wee hours. It’s always a party, so come down and have a beer and enjoy some rock.

We will be back at the Valarium on Friday, Feb 27 for our annual appearance at the charity event “Doc Rock for Health”. It’s a fun lineup and it’s for a good cause so come one come all.

First is this Thursday, Oct 23 at Wild Wings Cafe in Farragut. It’s always a good time, so don’t let the fact that it’s Thursday stop you from coming out to rock with us.

Then comes the BIG HALLOWEEN SHOW where we don our Halloween costumes and go as Spinal Tap for a spooky midnight set. Halloween is on a Friday this year, so come down to Preservation Pub on October 31 for the big show. We’ll be doing some of our usual stuff, then transforming into David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel, Derek Smalls and Micky Shrimpton performing the classics “Big Bottom”, “Hell Hole”, “Sex Farm”, and of course… “Stonehenge.”

Come one come all. Costumes optional.

Come one come all!
